Dude, I don’t see how people could live that way. Clutter is one thing but there’s no excuse to live disgustingly filthy like that. I worked maintenance for awhile and some of the stuff you run across, all you can do is just shake your head. Love your channel!
Hello from the UK, you get to work in some premier shit tips, love the oven door, filthy dirty too. Hope your injections are up to date. Keep up the excellent work, super content. Nice new van as well 👍👍😊
Watching you trying to pick out a pattern to put those garbage tiles over that plague infused floor was hilarious. You don’t want to disrupt the flow of the pattern or else the tenants might not be picked for Better Homes And Gardens front cover next month.
Dude reading this days ago u made me Crack up ahhahsha I love it. I just wanted to try to match the mess lol 😆 love the comment. U better comment more!!
The best thing to use for those tiles is a bonding agent (normally used for concrete). Let it tack up and go to town. I've done it many times and bonds like concrete
I use pl max to glue down non porous to non porous materials. I've glued frp to non sanded ceramic tile as quick fixes and it's held up in showers for 5+ years. One note once exposed to moisture it cures chemical so it will work for backslash or anything. I too work for cheap apartment management to save a penny spend a buck but I always have a creative solution in my back pocket. Frp advance maybe even regular frp glue would have been rollable on the floor and throw away the cover. Keep this info in your back po ket never know!
A heat gun could help soften up the old adhesive and make it easier to remove the tiles. Also, lacquer thinner might clean up the residual old adhesive and prep the surface better.
It's a good idea lol it just scares me cus I did a flooring repair after another company in a big box retailer and the flooring they put down was melting so I wanted to make sure the stuff I put down doesn't affect the manufacturer specs. Crazy stuff I promise!!
When i first bought my house in 07. The kitchen had painted flat paint blue stick down tiles. I could never get it clean. So i put stick down on top of it several years later. Looked good. My mistake was not buying an extra box at the same time. My water heater flooded part of my kitchen. I never could find the exact color tile. Every box was two or three shades darker. I laid it down anyways. Then when the kitchen sink plumbing leaked i just tore all the tile out in kitchen and laundry room which is connected. And was just going to sand the wood floors down underneath and it would match the rest of the house. Well there was like thick black tar paper stuck to the original wood floors. It didn't budge. So i put sheets of new thin subfloor wood down and laid stick down on that. Looks great
I put this same crap in a 1/2 bath for a quick cosmetic update. Looked great for about a month but soon as you wash it and water gets between seams it’s game over. But at least it was cheap. I think you’re better off snaking nasty drain lines- seems cleaner than that dump.
It is a toss up what is worse…. Reaching into an ejector pit full of toilet waste to clear a stopped-up pump, or that kitchen? I have a pretty good guess what town you are working in too.
Those jobs suck. It's impossible to provide a professional looking finish which eliminates us being able to take pride in our work, then the tech has to explain to the person living there that listen " they ain't paying for this to be right , so don't expect it to look good , the entire floor needs redone to look good and they ain't paying for that " then the tech has to deal with the potential recall or complaint that the job doesn't look good and has to re explain the reasons to the property manager because they themselves don't even understand what a reasonable expectation should be in this case because none of them have ever done flooring. Argghhhhh. Those jobs really suck the life out of me , at 44 years old I tend to tell them no thanks ain't doing it , but sometimes you gotta just take it. I feel your pain.
See you finally got a painter’s tool they’re excellent and come in handy for multiple tasks. I have a Hyde that’s quite old but still does the job not to familiar with Husky. Man, man oh man, you are the man!!! I would’ve said thank you, but no thank you and walked out. Honestly glue is unnecessary the grease would hold those tiles down just fine😅 I have to say at the end you did make it look better👏👏
I have like 5 or more I just have to find them I like the huskies cus they have bits for screws in it but yea it's home depot. I was probably better off just sticking it right on top cus I cleaned it so good now it might now stick so good lol
You did a nice job filling where the old tiles came up. Not sure how long that peel and stick tile lasts. It looks good, but the tenants might want to wash the floor and the rest of the house once and a while. LOL
I really hate taking these jobs like this. Where investors don’t want to spend money to fix it right. Even if they are satisfied I still hate having my name associated with this Mickey Mouse work.
8:37 I'm with ya on that man, should have bought and mop and bucket with Lysol floor cleaner and added it onto the job.. That bottle of simple green did the trick though! Keep up the great content!
That’s exactly why they’re building apartments and duplexes in every nice suburb in America. Bring the riff raff in and lower our property values. I remember a certain president saying that exact thing
This is so true 👍 but there is some tenants that keep their places nice than home owners but looking at my vids lol I'm sure everyone will beg to differ ha
Why can't people don't do at least a little tidying up of the workspace before the contractor comes in to the house? Gotta turn into a housekeeper just to provide the service you were hired to do :(
i don't know why landlords use this crap. i'm a landlord and we will only use click-lock LVP. the stuff literally lasts forever.....waterproof too. i've dropped screw drivers on it, doesn't even dimple or scratch. indestructible
That’s what cheap ass people pay for instead of getting a heavy duty click and lock floor planks do it one time last 5-10 years if the tenant is hard on it they pay some one to come once every few months….on top of that that looks so terrible I don’t no if leaving them missing looked better 😂 but not your fault stick and run from there lol
